i'd like to add a gripe that sometimes it gets "stuck" on a specific chapter you already finished reading and even after you read past it, it won't show your progress.
in general i love the idea of "continue reading" and think it's a great addition to the site, but it needs work.

@karasutengu own okay.

@Serah wait!! Are you saying that the novel won't continue ?

@Village-Idiot it came out in AUG in jap so we should get it in betreeen oct -jan 2027

I had a random thought. There are quite a lot of parallels between Rozemyne and Maomao.

Each has a quirky monomania. They are highly intelligent. They live in highly status bound societies. They have friends and associates with status from monarch down to skilled commoners. They have been both low and high status at different points in their lives, in ways which are pretty much unheard of. While both are conscious of the risks posed by people of higher status than themselves and try to navigate those risks, they struggle to treat superiors with the deference expected of them. They are blind to status in how they place value on their own friends/acquaintances. In both, romantic feelings are very slow to develop, or possibly (in Maomao's case) non-existent. (Although Myne is a child for much of the story, this still holds when she is old enough that she is expected to have romantic feelings.) Both have a "romantic partner" who initially was a mentor to them. (Although these relationships have rather different dynamics. Maomao/Ferdinand are repressed and Myne/Jinshi outgoing and pushing the relationship.)

Any more that I missed?

Anyone want to argue that these parallels are not very strong/important?

Thank you both for the quick replies and the detailed explanations. They were very informative and I understand how it works better now.

Yes. DRM-free ebooks with bonus stories is amazing.

Somehow there was no emotional impact of Rozemyne being poisoned. The voice over for Rosemyne doesn't show the extent to which she is suffering under that potion. It was too breezy. I think it is a directorial choice seeing how the voice artist managed emotional scenes in the past.

The impact of her losing 2 years is also not coming across.. i guess mostly because it was a series of post it notes.

It is good that they chose to highlight that Ferdinand was coming back to check on her often from the harvest festival. I guess they wanted to pack as much content from the short stories as possible. So none of them have the necessary emotional impact. I am not sure if an anime only person will truly understand the struggles of those close to mybe in her absence.

I think the primary challenge JNC would have moving into the Korean market is they likely have limited to no contacts with any of the existing publishers over there. Quality KR to EN translators could also be an issue, but probably a smaller obstacle. Unless it's something they've already been doing behind the scenes already, I can't see that anything could happen in the short term, as Bookworm puts it, you have to ensure the groundwork is laid out before taking a major step like that.

That said, if you're really looking to try and get a print edition of DoD, you might want to see if you can try to steer Yen Press in that direction. Their Ize press label is already printing some KLNs like Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, so they clearly have relationships with Korean publishers right now. I believe Publang got the manhwa print license (though I've yet to see anything beyond the announcement so far which happened at ANYC 2025...)
